Growing the Next Generation

Our Programs

Education is at the heart of HAF’s mission to cultivate a resilient, food-secure Hawai‘i. By bringing agriculture into classrooms and creating hands-on learning experiences, HAF empowers students and teachers to see the connections between the land, the food we eat, and the careers that sustain our islands. From farm excursions and interactive workshops to innovative curriculum and entrepreneurial opportunities, our programs spark curiosity, build skills, and inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders.
